This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Matthew Mitchell discuss the following:
- When you became head coach of the University of Kentucky’s women’s basketball team, you incorporated much of the team’s former head coach, Mickie DeMoss’s, approach to preparation. What was it about her approach that inspired you?
- Can you give us an example of the difference your preparation regimen made for your team?
- You describe how “greatness” — in sports, business, or any other venture — doesn’t just manifest on its own, but comes from a commitment to constant preparation. What does that look like?
- What role does one’s mindset play and how do we go about priming it for excellence?
- You’re now applying the proven methods from your basketball coaching career — which, by the way, included three visits to the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament, a Southeastern Conference (SEC) championship, and three SEC coach of the year awards — to organizational leadership. Will share an example of how your athletic preparation framework applies in the business world?
- What first step should we take to embark on our winning preparation process?
